I’ve literally never had a service provider email me my own password ever. Maybe a OTP, but never my actual password. And especially not in plaintext.
What would be the necessity behind emailing someone their own password? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having a password? Email isn’t secure.
I find that very hard to believe. While it is less common nowadays, many, if not most, mailing list and forum software sent passwords in plaintext in emails.
A lot of cottage industry web apps also did the same.
They’re probably just young.
I’ve had service providers physically mail my own password to me before. Just crazy.
Always use unique passwords for every site.
